what are the differance ,from ultra cameo and deep cameo? Is one better than the other as far as value? Thank you in advance for your time and effort to answer these questions.
Howdy newcc - Welcome to the Forum !! I moved your post to this section because it will get more response here and this is the section where it belongs anyway But to answer your question - there is no difference in the two terms. One is used by one grading company and one is used by another grading company. They both mean the same thing.
PCGS and most other grading companies like the term Deep Cameo NGC likes to use "Ultra" FYI... Here is the complete definition: "The term applied to coins, usually Proofs and prooflike coins, that have frosted devices and lettering that contrast with the fields. When this is deep the coins are said to be “black and white” cameos. Occasionally frosty coins have “cameo” devices though they obviously do not contrast as dramatically with the fields as the cameo devices of Proofs do. Specifically applied by PCGS to those 1950 and later Proofs that meet cameo standards (CAM)." The greater the contrast between the frosted devices and the lettering would make one coin a deep cameo versus just a regular cameo with a "mild" contrast.
